Week 9 Reading and writing

Hey All,
Just here to talk about the last 9 weeks of doing these readings, I just want ti say that I think my reading and writing skills have improved a bit. I don't until the last 9 weeks that I haven't read since the leaving cert and even then I hated it. But now I don't mind taking an hour out of my day to read a few things that could be useful towards my game in the end. In some of the blogs we had to read things about the thought process of even making a board game, with the likes of the rules, what components are in the game and  how many players are in the game.

 I think when thinking back on the blogs my favourite one was the growth mindset one. I thought the ted talk videos were very interesting and made a lot of sense. The way the Doctor was saying the kids in this generation are looking for high award for the little tasks, she says that this can effect your overall ambition in life so like you might not be aiming high enough for your life goals. This can all come down to how parents and teachers reward their kids.

I don't think my my game is going quite well and thats all down to me not putting in enough effort on it. I do think the tutorials that are given to us by Jimmy Vegas are very useful and helps out a big deal. He starts out with all the basics and explains it very well and makes it seem quite easy.

I chose this image from a past blog because I thought it was funny. I find it funny because that is literally me at the moment (apart from the drinking bit) I feel because its getting the end of the semester that everything is starting to pile up on us all at once. Like I am stress but i feel like i should be way more stressed if that even makes any sense.

I am looking forward to seeing how my game comes out in the end, I know it won't be perfect but it will my game that I have made. I am looking forward to advancing my game making skills for future projects and maybe for future jobs. I want to be able to know what I have to do on my own and not have to look at any tutorials but that only comes from practice that I do in my own time. I would like to see if my writing from these blogs have changed much from when i started 9 weeks ago and the ones from now.
Anyway this has been just thoughts on the last 9 weeks and what i liked and didn't like and how I'm feeling at the moment, Yeah I know kinda boring.

Introduction

Hello to anyone reading this. My name is Michael Nugent and I am 21 years old from the north of Kildare. Getting into this my best class that I took last semester was either web development or photography. I liked them both because in studio photography we got to use the colleges studio which is pretty decent and we go to do different things with images. To be honest my biggest accomplishment in last semester was passing all my modules and having no repeats. Over the break I didn't really do much because i was broke really. 😅 My favourite tv series has to be 'The Walking Dead'. I love it and have been a big fan since it realised it 2010. I even used to get up early before school to watch it because it came out early in America. When it comes to movies I have so many favourites, like I love the 'Star Wars' franchise and the Harry potter also. I am also a huge fan of Marvel movies. My favourite character would have to be either Iron Man or Spider-man. The best fi...

Game Vision Statement

Image
Hey there, Just here to talk about my game vision statement. The game genre i was going for is like a platform game. My gameplay was going to be where the player spawns on a platform, the player must then jump to the next platform and land on it, if they don't they instantly die from touching the lava. I was thinking of adding that the player will collect a coin or something to buy different types of maps or maybe some different types of outfits. For my games resources i was thinking of having 5-10 different levels all the levels will have a different themes to them, like one level could be a classroom and another could be a house where you start in the kitchen and you need to make it to the roof. This is a link to a similar game  The floor is lava . (Source Pinterest)

Game Brainstorm

Image
Hey there, Just here to give 4 possible game ideas that I could be making over the next few weeks for my own game. The process of thinking of any game is not an easy task for anyone. There are things like what kind of genre do I pick?, how many characters are going to be in the game or even where is it going to be set. My favourite genre would have to be either shooters or sports games like Call of Duty. But at the moment my favourite game would be Mario Kart. So for my first game idea is where there will be either 5-10 levels, each level harder than the next. But the levels will have objectives like having to collect a certain thing like a coin or something but the special item wont be easy to get because there will barriers in the way that can kill you causing re-start the level. Each level will also have a different background, maybe i'll try having moving objects in the background. A game also needs sound effects, like when you collect the item you need to pass the level. It...
